Being transgender only means that you do not obey the social construct of your given gender. It notably has nothing to do with your body (That would be transsexual). You are transgender when you decide that you do not feel fully comfortable with your birth given gender. Many transgender folk will alter their appearance non-surgically (ex: with chest binders or different hair styles), ask for different pronouns than what they were given, or - shocking to many - do nothing at all.

To know you are transgender is to know that your biological and your emotional as well as psychological state are not compatible. Like oil and water, your body is not in tune with your mind and feelings.

Transgender, by definition, is someone who doesn't conform to the traditional notions of male or female. Typically, someone who is transgender feels like they identify more with the sex opposite of what they were assigned at birth. For example, I know an individual who has always felt like a woman rather than a man. She identifies as a woman, regardless of the fact that that she was assigned the male sex at birth and was born with male sex organs.

Only you can know if you are transgender! Being transgender means that your self-identified gender does not perfectly fit what considered stereotypically male or female. You "transgress" or cross the boundaries of the norm, so to speak! This could mean anything from not adopting the standard script for what it means to be female or male, and taking on a more androgynous role, or identifying as a male when your biological sex was female. So think about how you self-identify, what you think may be "normal," and what you would like to be. Despite what many may think, there is no "right" way to be!

Do you feel as though you are actually the opposite gender, were you born in the wrong body. IF you are transgender you can still be attracted the opposite sex or your sex.

If you were born a male (sexually), but you feel like a women you are transgender. If you were born a female (sexually), but feel like a man you are transgender. Things like sex changes, hormone treatments, or anything really is just part of it. You can do nothing about it and you will still be transgender.

The only person who can answer this question is yourself. You are the expert on you, there is no specific way to "feel as transgender". Transgender is just a label for people who don't identify as the gender they were assigned at birth.

It's within how you feel with yourself! If you don't feel like the gender you were assigned at birth, then so be it. Nobody can force you to be anything - be who you are, be true to yourself and be true to everyone else around you!
